For the Love of Audrey

I think it's wonderful that some high end designers offer diffusion lines so that fashionistas can still have the opportunity to wear their clothes without the hefty price tag. The likes of Missoni have a diffusion line with their label, M Missoni, Chloe has their diffusion label, See by Chloe and French designer Isabel Marant has her diffusion line, Isabel Marant Etoile.  Isabel Marant loves dressing women for every day. This is what I love about the Etoile label, the fact I can slip on an item and wear it running errands and feel so french chic and oh so feminine! That's how I feel about her Etoile line, Each piece is so wearable. From floral dresses and skirts to soft breezy fabrics, sweatshirts and casual pants, Isabel Marant Etoile is both feminine and chic.  I pretty much have everything in the  Spring/Summer 2019 Isabel Marant Etoile collection on my Wish List! One of each please! Merci! Have a great week ahead. Yours in style, Suzi x Big than

I was worried the company was going to join the long list of Australian designers who have not managed to stay afloat. Thankfully in late 2017,  Caledonia Funds Management chief investment officer, Will Vicars, purchased the brand from the administrator. Will Vicars had already a small portion of shares in the
